Miracle of live

Sometimes when I talk to people about working and living on a dairy farm I realize how many things that are normal for me , are not that normal for the non farmers out there. One of those things is that a lot of people don't realize  that a cow , in order to give milk, needs to give birth to a calf first. Therefore if you have a lot of cows on your farm you will have a lot of calves too.
Taking care of those newborn once is how I start my day.
So Monday morning when  I got out there mother nature had a little surprise for me. Most of the time cows give birth to one calf at a time, sometimes we have twins and very seldom triplets.
Twins can be identical or not, boys and girls or a mix. Well this week the mix was rely special and something that I did not see for a long time. One of our older cows gave birth to non identical twins, both bull calves. Nothing special I hear you think. Well the special about those two bulls was that they both had a different color; one was almost black and the other one looked more like a deer.

The calf's where born during the night so the mom is not in the picture but she is a black and white Holstein cow.
Sometimes it doesn't take a lot to put a smile on your face and start your workday with a whistle. This morning was one of them..........
